1 For this Melchisedec king of Salem, Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him:
2 To whom also Abraham gaue a tenth part of all: first being by interpretation king of righteousnesse, and after that also king of Salem, which is, king of peace.
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, hauing neither beginning of dayes nor end of life: but made like vnto the Sonne of God, abideth a Priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, vnto whō euen the patriarch Abraham gaue the tenth of the spoiles.
5 And verily they that are of the sonnes of Leui, who receiue the office of the Priesthood, haue a commandement to take Tithes of the people according to the Law, that is of their brethren, though they come out of the loines of Abraham:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction, the lesse is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receiue tithes: but there hee receiueth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liueth.
9 And as I may so say, Leui also who receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For hee was yet in the loynes of his Father when Melchisedec met him.
